Join us for an outdoor, sunset screening of the short documentary, The 100 Years Show, starring Carmen Herrera in conjunction with the exhibition Estructuras Monumentales, on view in the Parrish’s south meadow. This special film screening will be featured adjacent to the sculptures in the south meadow. Guests are invited to bring lawn and outdoor chairs and blankets. No museum seating will be provided.
The 100 Years Show highlights Herrera’s oeuvre which went virtually unknown for most of her life. From architecture studies in Cuba to New York’s Art Students League to Le Salon des Réalités Nouvelles in Paris, Herrera’s life has spanned continents and art movements, and demonstrates a persistent devotion to her work. She was a pioneer and a peer of many male artists who received great recognition in their time. Her story is just one example of the many great artists whose accomplishments were overlooked because of their gender, ethnicity, or nationality. The 100 Years Show demonstrates the power of artistic vision to sustain itself.
